Although Lori was not able to attend this Spring's convocation, she takes a special place in the history of the program as our 30th graduate. Lori is a physical therapist on acute orthopaedics at the Ottawa Hospital – Civic Campus. Her reasons for taking a master’s were to be ready for new opportunities created by the expanding scope of physical therapy practice.

Lori considered the best part of doing her master’s was “meeting” and “working” with health professionals around the world. She met and worked with them only online and wrote, “Interestingly, we all encounter the same issues no matter where we work or what we do.”

Lori's research focused on the needs of older adults on isolation in acute care.
